If our teeth hurt while eating or for no reason, they may need treatment. Or there may be another reason underlying this pain and when this reason is eliminated, the problem automatically disappears.
CAN TOOTH CORROSION BE THE REASON FOR TEETH ACHE?
During routine X-ray examinations of the teeth, these small holes are detected and filled. Small holes can even be treated with groove protectors before they form.
Mouth guards can repair the initial decay in your teeth and eliminate the ache.
DO CRACKED AND BROKEN TEETH HURT?
If a tooth cracks or breaks, the nerve of your tooth can be exposed. Sometimes you can't see the crack there and you don't understand where the pain or rather the ache is coming from. You suspect the opposite tooth or the adjacent tooth. This is called referred pain. And if there is a reflection or a color change or a coating, you think where the pain is coming from.
IN CASE OF REFLECTED TOOTH PAIN, X-RAY CONTROL AND DENTIST EXAMINATION IS A MUST.
The use of a night guard may also be necessary in the treatment of a cracked or broken tooth.
TOOTH SENSITIVITY CAUSES TOOTH TO ACH.
Tooth sensitivity, also known as dentin hypersensitivity, manifests itself as teeth becoming sensitive to cold and hot, and even sweets. The main reason for tooth sensitivity, which is usually evident after consuming something hot and then cold, is that the dentin layer surrounding the tooth is exposed, where the enamel layer is not.
Just as the enamel layer on the tooth is exposed with the intense consumption of acidic foods, factors such as teeth grinding and reflux cause the dentin layer of the tooth to become visible.
In addition, gum recession and incorrect brushing cause dentin sensitivity in the wear and tear on the neck of the teeth. This also occurs as a result of aging. Reflux, eating disorders or bulimia are also causes of dentin exposure.
Protecting the enamel of our teeth is the best treatment method. Although the enamel of the tooth is the hardest organ of the body, it can be worn. Using a night plate reduces this wear and tear, and its use is recommended.
IS THE USE OF SPECIAL PASTE EFFECTIVE IN RELIEVING TOOTH SENSITIVITY?
The use of special paste has a restorative effect especially in areas where the enamel is thin. It also has a protective effect in areas where there is no enamel. Sports or yoga should be a part of our lives. Wearing protectors while doing these sports protects our teeth from abrasion and cracking.
We need to brush our teeth twice a day and floss every day. If there is teeth grinding, botox and preventive use are recommended.
Regular dental check-ups are necessary for oral health control and cleaning.
